   Indeed.  That suggests that perhaps the store is not accessing the device
   properly at all.  Can you put some printfs in libstore/device.c where it
   calls device_get_status to print out the results?

Argh.  I should have noticed this before.  This is a consequence of my
last change to libstore.  You'll need to update gnumach.  Make sure
you've got a version that has the following entry in the ChangeLog:

1999-05-01  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* linux/dev/glue/block.c (device_get_status): Always set
	status_count to DEV_GET_STATUS_COUNT if flavor is DEV_GET_SIZE.
